Mummified Spyder...

#1

Post by SunTzu »

I have a friend who works at a construction site and a few days ago he and his crew were demolishing an old foundation to make room for a parking garage. There he found somthing that i couldent believe untili saw it today. Apparently when the old foundation was bieng put down somone dropped an endura in the concrete and it stayed there for ??? years. He cleaned it up as best he could and the thing still works! There you have it, the tale of the mummified spyder. :D Oh and how old are the first endura's? :confused:

That's an amazing story. Things like this make me think that someone should write a sequel to "The Spyderco Story" containing, well, Spyderco stories. I bet there are some other great ones out there.

Tomb Raiding and Spyderglyphics

Actually I think I heard that Doctor Lecter has done his fair share of Tomb Raiding over at the Giza Plateau :p . But the good Doctor was wanting to see if Cleopatra and Nefertiti had Pink Delicas :cool: To his surprise one of them had a Hawkbill ( just like a woman :eek: ) and the other had a yellow handled Ladybug along with a Pink Cricket :o

But I am certain that Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon had already preceeded the good Doctor in the discovery of the first Hawkbill :D

Spyderglyphics on the tomb walls proved that neither Buck or Gerber played much of a role in the construction of the pyramids :rolleyes:
